In reply to: [CMB2] Date formats…Yeah. I did. I don’t see any affect of date_format on the text_date type and how it is entered into the database. The value will always be mm/dd/yyyy in the database.
You may want to do a quick check for yourself, but that is what I am seeing.

In reply to: [CMB2] Date formats…Hi. I have used your previous version and noticed that the date_format was not an option for ‘text_date’ . That actually was my original question above.
I just tested again on this new version and it looked like it also doesn’t work when I look at the value in the database. Still reads the default.
Just confirming. Thanks.

In reply to: [CMB2] Date formats…Hey Michael, nice of you to ask. I didn’t follow-up as I felt in fairness it went beyond the support of your plugin.
I had everything working just using text_date. This includes pulling a custom post_type by date and ordering by time with a custom query. I got into thinking I should be using timestamps when I wanted to do filters for the previous_post links and they weren’t working.
Anyways, after much pondering and stackoverflowing I think I might just go back to text_date and tweak the global query for the previous_post links.
That being said, I would still like to have the date entered into the database as Y/m/d instead of m/d/Y. Where in your plugin is this defined? Possible to make the change?

In reply to: [CMB2] Date formats…Hey, thanks for your response.
I was actually using text_date and it was even working for my comparisons pulling custom post types with wp_query on the front page (Events page).
However, I ran into some ordering issues when doing filters for next_post_links off of single posts. Thus, I was looking into storing dates in the Y/m/d on the backend. So, in the end, I may start using timestamps instead as I have read they sort and order better.
In these sort of cases, and in connection with your plugin would use use the Date and time combo, or do you feel it might be more flexible to separate the two? Or no difference?

Thanks again.

In reply to: Using iphone and ipad with WordPress…Thanks. I found a couple apps on the app store that take pictures at lower resolutions so I may utilize a bit of both.
It was odd when I did a test run of uploading images directly from my iphone directly from just using my website backend it renamed my images “image” then “image1” etc. Strange.
I also tested the wordpress app from the appstore. I found it disappointing that it doesn’t look like it supports custom post types.
I just installed the latest version of Xampp which supports a later version of PHP and I was getting the below error:
“Warning: Creating default object from empty value in …………………..class_functions.php on line 3904 ” for my featured property listings.
I don’t get this on my live site or my other install of 1.7.7 install of Xampp. I think this is because both my host and the older version of xampp support older versions of PHP, pre 5.4.4 .
Sure enough, I redid the before mentioned xampp install to 1.7.7 and wp-property threw no errors.
I also did a Google search of the error I got, and sure enough I found a site throwing the same error, but live (ouch)! I am betting they are running a newer version of PHP.

In reply to: Custom vs. Customization Defined?????…could be defined as a customization of those frameworks. I guess semantics.

In reply to: Custom vs. Customization Defined?????In that regard you would consider all WordPress Themes frameworks. And a “Custom WordPress Website” would be a customization of those frameworks (possibly redesigned graphics etc.).

In reply to: The "why" about comment spam?Thanks. I will do more research on the subject.
I do like the idea of article swapping. Looks like it can be very beneficial to everyone involved.

In reply to: The "why" about comment spam?Did a quick on link backs and read info on Wiki.
Are link backs somethjing you suggest I myself should be doing to help improve my SEO? Seems “gimmicky” to post useless comments everywhere.
I’ve actually had a comments actually saying that they wanted me to help them with their trackbacks. Wasn’t suire what they were talking about.
